Always a wonderful experience. Even with the facility being under staffed they do their best to keep things running for us. Grateful for the efforts and the community.

The ymca in mission valley is top tier. Good facilities, great staff, and being able to workout outside is a huge plus, probably one of the nicest features of the gym.

Love this YMCA....staff and members are very friendly. my only complaint are the short hours. Covid is over, i hope they go back to regular hours soon.

Great gym ir should I say fitness centreThere are approximately more than 15 swimming lines one indoor pool and another outdoor pool, an indoor basket field, two big group classes, a cardio room, stretching room, weight room, a spinning room.You yes you can entertain yourself in here and they have really affordable prices too.I tried the free 2 days per year the they offer and I fell in love with it.There are two parking lots too

Ive been to because their support is so fantastic! Im so happy with how they deal with their customers and track your success every two weeks. Ok, I highly recommend this gym!

Terrible family swim hours, but otherwise a great place.

I am so very happy to be back at the Mission Valley Y. I’ve missed it these last 6 months. I was very relieved to see how seriously they are utilizing Covid precautions. They monitor how many clients are in the facility and they shut down for two hours each day to completely sanitize. As always everyone is ultra supportive and caring. It’s my Y for life.

Theyre making a major effort to keep open outdoor workout facilities, including the pools. While access is limited because of reduced capacity, theyre doing the best they can.

My daughter lived her work out and there are plenty if kid friendly machines

Suna room yes or no?

The best gym I’ve been to. There are great classes offered by wonderfully instructors. Try the body combat classes or yoga or Zumba! There are 3 stair masters and plenty of cardio machines, rarely all taken even during busy times. Weight area can get a little busy.

Great for families, my kids love the play ground and 2 pools.

I love this gym! Have been a member over 10 years. The Mission Valley YMCA offers great classes with instructors that are helpful if you are new or a regular too. They have a variety of machines that you can use. Also, they have a cafe with friendly staff. I love their Kale smoothies!

My baby loves the swimming classes at this place. Were moving out of mission valley and wont be able to keep coming here, but I recommend them to everyone

The pools are great. Indoor pool is heated just right. Outdoor pool is very spacious. They have 2 small spas with a life guard on duty. Clean facility. Really enjoyed coming here often. Great for families.

This place is fantastic! Top notch weight room and fitness center. Numerous lanes for swimmers. Clean locker rooms and everything in between! They even have a small cafe for smoothies, protein shakes and breakfast snacks. Writing this review makes me want to go back and visit.

Amazing classes, friendly people

I absolutely love the Mission Valley YMCA. It is not the closest YMCA to my house, but I choose to go here because the facilities are outstanding. I use the weight room a couple of days a week. Find the equipment adequate and the staff is very helpful. I also swim with the masters swim team three days a week in the morning. Coach Scott is amazing! He keeps it fun, light, interesting and you leave feeling like youve had a good workout. The facility is very clean and well equipped.

Just want to share.... I have just finished my Stretching Class given by Dinah. It is like a gift of life for me. I have had some arthritis and injuries in life and this class has given me a means to have a pain free week. It is noticeable when I cannot attend it! I thank Dinah and the YMCA.Trudie

The nicest Y in San Diego with an outdoor and indoor pool a d jacuzzi. Full range of cardio, but the weight room could offer more. Staff is very attentive and responsive. You get two free guest passes a year.

Great YMCA location! Friendly staff and they recently updated all the workout equipment in the wellness center. Mondays can be busy at times but the rest of the week is great! Inviting place to go workout. The pool is also heated. Check their website for any updates on the facility issues.

Visited this Y while on a business trip. Two pools - one indoor and one out. The outdoor pool is beautiful; a real treat to swim in. The locker room was bright and roomy. I found my interactions with the staff to be pleasant as well.One note: i incorrectly assumed this Y provided towel service. It doesnt, so if you are visiting from out of town Dont forget your towel.

A wonderful YMCA with an indoor in addition to an outdoor pool. Both are ideal for swimming laps and there are 2 hot tubs for total comfort. There is plenty of parking and national YMCA membership is honored.

Its been my main gym for three years. I play basketball, practice yoga and lift weights here. After some time of being a member I decided its a great location to help kid in sports. So I became a youth basketball ref and instructor on my off time. This place is where I cultivate myself into a better person.

One of the largest YMCA in SD. The gym/free weights area is quite comfortable and has plenty of room for everyone. The treadmill area has a massive amount of machines. Locker rooms have lockers to choose your own combo or you can use your own locks. This place also has their own juice/snack bar for a pre workout or post workout shake or snack. 2 pools, 1 indoor and 1 out. 2 spa Jacuzzis. Love this place

I love this place. This is my gym. My 3yo son loves the day care and I love to be able to workout. He loves the pool and I love that its indoors and keeps him out of the cold.All the equipment is clean and organized. Its always in great working order. And if you dont know how to use something the staff is always willing to show you how! 😅They have a smoothie/snack bar that I am in love with because I can get a protein shake if I forget mine. But usually we get ice cream or popsicles. They have a pretty large selection for being a little snack bar. Many smoothies, shakes, and snacks to choose from. They have 3 refrigerators with drinks and other refrigerated snacks.

Extraordinarily disorganized. They keep either no records or terrible records. Sign your kids up for a class, good luck; even if you were first to sign up they may boot your kids in favor of someone who signed up 3 weeks later because they didnt keep track of the number of spots in the class. Nobody ever answers the phone, either.

Great place for a workout, a swim, and to connect with people in the community... The trainers are very helpful and the facilities are very clean and packed with every piece of equipment you could imagine. I highly recommend getting a membership here and finding a schedule of classes that meet your individual needs, no matter what your age or activity level.

I go here often with my daughter. The warm indoor pool is perfect for little kids! Family changing and shower rooms are super convenient. We also often use the playground adjacent to the building.

Summer Camp: Compared to our local Y, the summer camp offerings and volume of kids is exponentially greater at the Mission Valley Y. I was dreading my daughter not being able to adjust to so many kids. At the end of day 1, she said she absolutely LOVED IT. Its a little further out of the way for me, living in North Park and working in Chula Vista, but if kiddo is happy, I get to maintain that much more sanity heading into work. Also, the 6:30 AM drop and extended after care (at no extra cost) is like GOLD.

Daughter had summer camp adventure and laser tag weeks here and she really enjoyed It compared to the Balboa camp cahito. For stating outside in the front she seemed to have a great time at all the various stations. They did offer drop off from 730- 9 in the morning but I had to drop off at 645 so I didnt get to take advantage of that but its good to have that during peak hours.

Good classes,instructors,equipment. Everything is well maintained and clean. The weight room is big and well organized. There are plenty of machines in the cardio room and when it gets crowded the staff makes sure everybody gets to a machine. We love this Y.

Great overall facility and fantastic if youre a silver sneaker. The weight room is terribly small and uncomfortably jammed packed outside of 5am. Great if you swim as well but they treat the weight room like the red-headed step child they wish wasnt a part of the facility.

Absolutely wonderful workout environment. Not loud and not annoying unlike most gyms. Highly recommend. Fair in price and in freedom and space between others working out.

Its a great place for kids and to work out

I love the Y! Not sure what others dislike. If you sign up for this Y you get into four locations, I pretty much use this one and Hazard. This y has a great cardio room and I like the classes. I wish more of my friends would join the Y because its a way better value with the tons of classes they offer, but I wont leave it just to work out with friends at 24 hour fitness because its that much better.Also I read something below about the womens lockers. They totally redesigned them this Spring.

This YMCA has pushed to improve everyone’s experiences. They offer classes for all ages. Some are on high demand which means you have to get on the list early. For the kids lessons we are talking months before the summer time arrives.Fitness rooms are well lite and allow ample space to work out which ever way you like. Recommend if your free lifting to not go during high traffic times and you should be able to work through your whole workout without interruptions.Swim lessons for the young ones are only as good as the instructor. We have had both good and mixed reviews but we will be back for more.Child watch is a plus if you have youngsters because for the price of the family membership, just the care time makes it a deal.

Nice facility and well run. My grandson plays basketball on one of the kids teams. Coaches are volunteers but do a good.

Nice spot. Just wish the weight room was a little bit bigger. Other than that the facility is kept up nicely.

Took a CPR/First Aid class. No problem parking. Classroom was clean and roomy. Instructors were very knowledgeable and professional.

Great staff, plenty of room to work out. Sometimes very busy, so choose your hours carefully. Worth every penny with a two-person membership.

Nice gym with lots of machines. I like using the heated pools, they have an outdoor and an indoor. Parking is very easy here.

Love the YMCAs we have tried. This one is pretty big. Parking can be a bit crazy so I suggest coming early for a class since those can max out as well.

I love their pools. It seems to be a salt water pool and it has many lanes!

Not very expensive and sadly you get what you pay for. Recently rash of thefts in locker rooms as the lockers were not secure. Purports to be welcoming, but too many homeless. Most of the staff does nothing.

Ha, are you serious. I wish never mind. Just reminds me that this place is nothing more than a vacation spot and nothing more. The people where trash.

Great value, especially if you have kids. Young children can be left in the youth room while you work out, and older kids have multiple options of classes such as swimming, basketball, water polo, etc. During summer there are many activities and camps to choose from as well.The gym equipment is regularly replaced with newer models and there are exercise machines for all types of workouts. Variety of classes are organized for patrons, many of which are free - cycling, pilates, water gymnastics and so on.The Y is a great place if youre not into the meat market type of gym and the perfect family club for young and old.

I love this place. Everyone is so happy and friendly. Arthritis classes are great and the water temperature is perfect. Sending love, Jane

Outdoor pool is saline! :D But it can get pretty crowded in the mornings, so if youre not cool with circle swimming its best to go later on in the day.Great staff and the place is always super clean. Happy to be a member

Been a member here a while ago, introduced my children & their children. Love this Y...lots of classes, knowledgeable instructors, convenient class times, locker rooms, indoor outdoor pools. For the kids they offer summer camps, holiday camps, basketball, baseball for kids as well as adults. Spinning, cardio, power rooms with all types of equipment and bikes. You can contract for private instruction or just get into a group setting. Lots of parking but at times its limited. Handicapped parking, wheelchair accessible. Staff are informative & friendly, they also have a small snack area. There is a kid club for children and a nite out club for those who want some time without the kiddies. Join the YMCA if you are looking for some exercise classes and/or make some new friends its a fun atmosphere here!!

Participates in the AWAY program for out of town members. Friendly staff. Indoor pool was incredibly hot on the day I was there. Im used to swimming in a mixed-use (laps and therapy) pool with temps of 85, but this was much hotter. Might have just been that day.

My complaints are minimal there is no prone hamstring curl machine, crowded ( like most gyms) few people work in or know gym etiquette. Go during off hours if possible.

Came for the free community day and we loved everything! Got a membership and are so happy we did!

Love my Y! Excellent assortment of fitness classes!

Great community center that is open to reserve for public community groups and organizations.

Massively cramped and unable to provide for the demand if strength training is important to you. At peak times even the cardio can be a wait. Excellent swimming facilities!

Great facilities at a great price. Kids love the basketball there (good coaches, good director.) Gets a little crowded after work.

GREAT spot for US older folk to get some safe workouts. Especially Cynthia on WF at 9 in the indoor pool for strength building.

I workout at this Y 5 times a week in the warmer inside pool. Its fantastic. Ive used the gym equipment before and its always in good working order.

Great facility. Loads of free classes. Huge workout room, 2 large pools, 2 smallish hot tubs, daycare, yoga, cycling room, small juice and snack area. Clean locker rooms.

I signed up for a membership about 3-4 months ago with the hopes of getting swimming lessons for myself. I was made aware of the wait list and how I would need to wait for an instructor to become available at the time I desired.....well...I never got anything in those 3-4 months. I followed up by phone every 3 weeks and I was given the same long wait excuse.Finally, I was told to email the head of the swimming department. No response. Not even a hey, I got your email. I was patient enough to wait this long but the lack of response to my email is what really made me furious. Complete lack of professionalism.

Beautiful facility. The indoor pool was recently drained and new water and chlorine was put in and it is so fresh and clean now!

Such a fantastic facility and great organization. This place is a state-of-the-art gorgeous gym, but is really so much more than that to the community!!

They have great swim classes for the family and they have a indoor pool

Love working out here. Super nice people. Great facilities

Love this place! Great pool, exercise classes and daycare facilities. There is even a nature trail that leads from the car park to the river

Beautiful outdoor pool! Love the cafe also.

Great, clean facility. My preferred Y location for hw last year and a half. The staff is friendly and allows you to use the equipment, even the stages bikes when there isn’t a cycle class going on (as opposed to at Copley Price 😒). More swimming lanes than Copley as well. Love the new stages flight cycle classes as well! Keep it up, MV!

Summer camp at the Y is the best. Highly organized, cheerful staff who obviously enjoy kids, diverse activities. .. its simply great.

It is a good place to workout, the only problem deciding what to do, swim, lifting weights, so many options.

I like coming here but Id give 5 stars if they took the kids outside more or if they had a set schedule for the times they take them outside. Out of six times Ive taken my toddlers to childwatch, they only went to the outside playground (which is attached to the classroom) only once. When I asked what the usual time is that they take them outside, the lady said they didnt have one but that she likes to take them outside before noon.

Friendly staff, well stocked workout rooms and 2 pools!

Very nice place to excersise! They also have a decked out computer lab so you can do your work.

I love this place, lots of equipment and activities friendly staff and lots of pools. This is definitely a family style Y.

The cleanest, nicest, and best YMCA in the United States very fair pricing and it is non-profit so your money goes to help other families and people to be able to join a gym and live a healthy lifestyle.It is OPEN DAILY ON WEEKDAYS FROM 4:30 AM UNTIL 10:30 PM..Weekends close about 8 pm.Very large olympic sized swimming pools, obe indoor, obe outdoor, with outdoor 10 person jacuzzi.Small open cafe for coffee and inexpensive food/snacks with tv and charging ports for phone/ tablet xharging.Good place, pretty friendly employees and guests/members.

This location is a little small but very clean, and the staff is super nice! The reason Im giving this Y 3 stars is because of the people that workout here. Ive seen prejudice against transgender people occuring here on multiple occasions. Im not trans myself, but on three different days now I have witnessed privileged middle-aged white women saying demeaning things about transgender people working out in their same vicinity. These people are doing nothing to them and they go out of their way to make them feel uncomfortable. Ive also had older people at this Y be extremely rude to me and touch my belongings while I was working out. Honestly, Ive been to many other YMCAs around San Diego, and the members here make it feel like a very conservative place. I would suggest working out at a different location if you want a more inclusive feeling environment. I wish there was more the staff could do to provide inclusivity and a comfortable space for all, but I understand they are limited.

Such an awesome Y. So many classes. A spacious and clean environment for everyone from 2 to 100.

I live the Y. It really is for everyone and I absolutely love the variety of classes at different times. I also appreciate that they keep it very clean.

I left a 5-star review about a year ago but recently some things have changed so Im updating my review.1. The gym has become too crowded. Sometimes you cant find any available cardio machines or even a little space to stretch. Coming between 4:00pm and 7:00pm is no longer a pleasant experience. Minus one star.2. If youd like to use a jumping rope, you have to look for a staff member and ask them to unlock the room where they keep jumping ropes. They give it to you in exchange for your ID. When youre done using it, you have to look for a staff member again to give it back to them and get your ID back. They used to keep jumping ropes next to the dumbbells available to everyone at any time. All other gyms still do. This new policy is ridiculous. Minus one star.3. They used to have a digital scale in the mens locker room but its been gone for over a month now. I asked several different staff members what happened and they all told me It broke so we ordered a new part for it and it is on its way. Well, its been about 6 weeks and there is still no scale in the mens bathroom. Just buy a new scale $15. WTF. Minus one star.The only reason Im still a member here is because I live very close to it - 5 minutes by walking. Very convenient :)

Very happy people here, teamwork everywhere, clean & bright place !

H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E C.U.S.T.O.M.E.R S.E.R.V.I.C.E ! ! !Mission Valley, CA Location - YMCADont email customer service via their website, and they took weeks to get back to me to cancel my membership which then went past my billing date to make sure they got another month of fees out of us.It took them weeks and still to this day no reply back as of email my September 4, 2018 email. They had to go back and forth between Kaysi Howington their Department Head & their customer service person, Araceli Alejandre; which is Member Engagement Director to make a decision, why?I had filed a dispute with American Express to get a refund and cancel my services. I was planning on returning, both my wife and I but after this horrible customer service experience we will not be returning, and we are going to tell people about our experience.What an enormous waste of time to cancel a simple monthly membership. No one should have to be subjected to making multiple phone calls, emails, etc to cancel a membership; this is 2018!Why not let your members click a button to pause or cancel their membership?What a waste of membership dollars to have to engage multiple people to cancel a membership.How about YOU make it easy for me to do business with you?Sounds crazy right?The culture is one of how much can we squeeze of our members and make it a pain the butt to cancel their membership, you need a new customer experience plan because the current one sucks!

The best YMCA that Ive been to. The main downside is that the pools are almost always crowded and traffic can be heard from the outdoor pool. Also the tennis courts that used to be with this Y belong to the apartment complex next door.

I love this place. Really all I use is the pool for masters swimming, but I do see exercise machines and weights and other torture devices, and the people seem to enjoy them.

Nice pool at this Y. Great playground for kids, too.

Great family pool and daycare center for when you want to work out without having ro watch over your little ones. Love it!

This place is an extension of our home- we love this place! Excellent programs, kind staff, and great equipment.

Out of all the ymcas in San Diego, mv is one of the best. Their spin bikes have an awesome system to help you have more accurate workouts, decent basketball courts, good weight room and better cardio room. Yummy cafe on sight. Parking is good. Lots of kids programs.

Two pools one indoor and one outdoor, great weight room and tons of cardio. Three workout rooms, basketball courts, stretch room. Tons of classes and personal trainers.

I play in a basketball league here. Very family oriented. Outdoor pool. Clean. Lots of parking

I have been a member for 6 years. There is so much positive things that is offered! Down side is it is getting too crowded. They keep building and changing while the members live with construction. Its nice but hardly room to swim or exercise. Classes get full and its a rat race..which I am trying to escape! .

The faculity is nice friendly staff. Only thing is the pool area some people dont have consideration of others when it comes to sharing the swimming lanes. Pools always nice and inviting i would Highly recommend...

Great place.Viarity of people different sizes and backrounds working out here.Love their cycling classes specially with Joe.And weightlifting in a group never gets boring and always effective.....

I would give them good reviews if I could get in. They did not honor my 5 day pass given by my employer.

Was formerly a member here. The facility and staff are great, but its often overly crowded and full of people who just take up space while not doing anything. For 30 minutes I saw someone just stretching on a treadmill. This is not a rare occurrence either.

Great equipment, clean facility and friendly staff make for a great workout experience!

Great classes.. Awesome gym... amazing instructors

Love this YMCA - great facilities, friendly people. They have something for everyone.

I love the YMCA. I have been a member since I was a child, and now take my children. The outdoor pool is amazing!

This gym is much better that other YMCA.

Really good quality compared to the other ones
